ADEL, Iowa — Hillary Clinton’s voice thundered through a bowling alley as she railed against corporate treachery and greed — then turned soft and thoughtful as she promised to “work my heart out” if elected.

Clinton barely mentioned Sen. Bernie Sanders, her rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, during the appearance Wednesday morning, though her angry rant against corporate “inversion” deals and prescription drug “price-gouging” borrowed a leaf from his populist playbook.

Here in the final, five-day sprint of an uncomfortably close Democratic contest in Iowa, Clinton has largely abandoned a strategy that appears to have done little to improve her standing with voters here: trying to directly discredit the senator from Vermont and his unstintingly liberal proposals......................

2. Hillary is criticizing Republicans,

and BS is criticizing Hillary. Hmmm, wonder what the candidates internal polling is showing?

[Treant]

3. Wait a SECOND!

I thought Bernie was going to run a clean campaign, without SuperPAC influence?

Why, whatever happened to that?

Does this make him the first candidate to break two campaign promises before the campaign is really even underway? Certainly I no longer trust a word out of him.

As for Mrs. Clinton, of course she chose the high road. She's poling well, the e-mail scandal may HELP her on Monday (it couldn't be more transparently a Friday Surprise), and she's actually a Democrat.

9. disgusting

I wish the Big Dog would come out and call Bernie on his cheating. Disgusting, to borrow a phrase.

10. Ever since the orange mop guy started

started to use that term so much I have avoided it --but sometimes if fits just fine

[Treant]

12. He won't.

You won't hear a word until the Primary is over...and that's probably a good thing. Certainly the ethical thing.

4. Repugs and Bernie are assaulting Hillary, all the while

Hillary is answering the difficult questions about our future.

Somebody must have some bad internal polling, and it's not Hillary.

[riversedge]

5. I rather agree with

Hillary's strategy --keep the attacks on the Republicans. I saw a speech late last week--she did not seem herself--'contrasting' hers and Sanders policies. More herself just talking about her policies and then answering questions--which she is very good at.

6. Bernie not so much still atacking at full steam on the stump

It was really old and lame just like his presentation the audience quite same Iraq vote, gay issues etc.
He knows he will fade as quickly As.he started.

[Treant]

8. From your lips

to the Flying Spaghetti Monster's ear.

So far, I've been accused twice today online of being shrill and clearly panicky about Iowa by Bernie supporters.

This is an excellent sign. Projection and deflection are two things you'll often see when they know their own side is weakened severely.

[Thinkingabout]

7. Hillary has a great record to run on, she needs to continue

To show she is ready for the office of president. A leader does mot have to follow others.

[riversedge]

13. Yes, she does best when doing just that.

[Cha]

11. Poor bernie.. he's so desperate and Hillary is not!
